I'm sure you can do stuff like that in Linux, I've just never really needed to before.

I may just go ahead and get the Dell monitor my Dad got ( http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-4688), cause I haven't been able to find any others I like, and I don't want to settle on a budget monitor. I think it won't won't be so bad if I set it on the corner of my desk and view it at an angle (my desk is small to look at it straight on without my eyes hurting) Or I'll just buy a new desk.
